Rupee gets stronger a bit
Thursday, November 6th, 2008 | Tech news | No Comments
Rupee has got stronger by about Rs. 2. Dollar value is Rs. 47.5 according to XE which showed Rs. 49.3 few days back, so just near US election time. Inflation is a major problem with layoffs in all sector and experts predict this is going to stay for 4 years still. When investors violate basic investing rules and invest in sensex, this is what happens.
Sony Vaio, the elegant and luxury notebook brand
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 | Laptop reviews | No Comments
Whatever we say, whether Vaio costs heap or Blu-ray is dead, Vaio notebooks are one which make a lasting impression on a user. With Several features and fantastic accessories and savings schemes while buying, plus full high definition video with Blu-ray technology and 1080p resolution in most of its series, they just simply rock. The Xbrite technology is beautiful and the clarity and video quality that you enjoy on Vaio notebooks is simply luxury. Plus Sony’s international customer care facility is also good (you get international travel warranty with higher end models). Sony being a recognized international brand offers good customer support unlike HP Customer care which sucks. Sony Vaio CS Series is quite a good one with options in models ranging from basic to high end ones. Also Sony Vaio had limited editions of notebooks recently which had fine paintings as design in notebook instead of just glossy colours and i swear they were worth having a look to just lust for them. Yeah, they were limited editions and no cheap ones.
Dell Inspiron 1525 has perfect specs
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 | Laptop reviews | No Comments
Dell Inspiron 1525 has perfect specs suited for a normal user with 2 GB RAM and other sufficient HDD and features at good price. In India, this model is one of the most favourite one and here you get 9 vibrant colors options. I suppose Dell was the first one to experiment with colors in notebooks which has led other brands like Sony to also experiment with it. For a normal user, 1525 model is best suited and anyone who has decided to go with Dell will certainly give priority to this model first. The 15.4″ piece is perfect for home use with great configuration.
Is Blu-ray dead ?
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | Laptop reviews | No Comments
I read some article online about Blu-ray saying that Blu-ray technology is as good as dead due to severe limitations, the main being high costs when most brands are struggling to reduce prices and where DVD technology is working fine.
Limitations :
(1) High costs and several other obstacles including high costs and inability of small producers to adopt them.
(20) Blu-ray movies and player are costly.
(3) High licensing fees of BDA - Blu-ray Disc Association.
(4) People are still content with DVD and other excellent codecs for movies.
Sony Vaio Notebooks are one famous for Blu-ray technology. This technology fascinated people a lot in beginning but above limitations limited its use among common public. Only those willing to shell out money and obsessed for HD movies go for it. I expect a fair market share of Blu-ray laptops in coming decade.
4 decades of laptop
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | Tech news | No Comments
The ideas for portability in PC’s all started in 1968. It has taken 4 decades for us to reach here where we are today where you can get slim and ultra portable and exciting featured laptops. Developments in notebook has gone a long way, especially i suppose much development has taken in past 1 decade with developments in nanotechnology and other branches. Former Xerox PARC computer scientist Kay first had the vision in 1968 of developing what he termed ‘Dynabook’, something like portable PC’s. But what went was known as notebooks and laptops instead of ‘dynabook’. Well, that doesn’t matter because what we wanted was laptops, oops ‘dynabook’..whatever ! Every development starts with ideas and this was one of them.

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 | General | No Comments
I just beaten Halo 1 again! Have not played it in like 2 years I think it took me 6 hours to beat over 3 days. Thats not too bad is it? I have Halo 2 but have never gotten past the first couple of levels I got bored with it. Halo 2 did have online play that was fun when i had Xbox live. I think thats why I never beaten halo 2 Xbox live was so much fun. Halo 1 had way better guns like the pistil 2 or 3 shots to the head and you enemy was dead. Not to mention my all time favorite one shot to the chest shotgun.
Witch Halo was your favorite was it Halo 1 or Halo 2 or Halo 3 and why did you like it? Just leave a comment

The Strangers
Friday, October 24th, 2008 | Tech news | No Comments
I just saw “The Strangers” has just come out on Apple’s site. I saw this movie 2 or 3 months ago in the theater and I could not believe how bad it was. The movie is about a couple that want to an out of town wedding. After the wedding they went to his parent’s cabin in the woods then “The Strangers” came and killed them. The movie was way! to long like 2 hours too long.
